Let x=65

For 5 miles he needs 10 minutes. for next 60 miles he needs 60min
case 2: 60m/h constant
he needs 65 min for 65 miles

How much 70 min is greater than to 65 min

5/65 *100 So I am going with E

Total Distance=X miles,Speed =60 miles/hr

Normal time taken=X/60

D1=5 miles S1=30 miles/hr,T1=1/6

D2=x-5 miles S2=60 miles/hr,T2=x-5/60

Total time taken=(1/6)+(x-5)/60


Percentage=([1/6)+(x-5)/60-(x/60)]/[(x/60)] * 100

=500/x

Pick E
